Abstract

The homodyne K process models the optical field as the field amplitude plus noise. The noise is modeled as a modulation of a gamma process with a Gaussian process. The detected intensity is the low pass portion of the square of the field. The simulation of such a process yields insight to the nature of the role of the model parameters on the statistical and spectral behavior of the model. The ability to simulate a correlated gamma process is imperative in the HK process simulation.
